No One Is Innocent Lyrics

God save the sex pistols they're a bunch of wholesome blokes
They just like wearing filthy clothes and swapping filthy jokes
God save television keep the programms pure
God save William Grundy but roll him In manure.

Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk

God save Martin Boorman and nazis on the run
They wasn't being wicked God that was their idea of fun
God save Myra Hindley God save Ian Brady
Even though he's horrible and she ain't what you call a lady

Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk
Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk

God save politicians God save our friends the pigs
God save Idi Amin and god save Ronald Biggs
God save all us sinners God save your blackest sheep
God save the good samaritan and god save the worthless creep

Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk
Ronnie Biggs was doing time until he done a bunk
Now he says he's seen the light and he sold his soul to punk
Sold his soul Sold his soul Sold his soul to punk

I think it's a crap song. Steve and Paul buggered off to Brazil to record it with Ronnie Biggs. Why should Ronnie Biggs be patronised when he took part in a train robbery that left the driver brain-dead. It's sick.

@Whatsername1251 Didn't Lydon say exactly the same thing about not wanting to go to Brazil, as well. The Pistols without Rotten are, in my opinion, also not the Sex Pistols.

I think this is a sarcastic take-off on the 'God save the Queen' phrase, basically adding 'god save' before the names of several [nasty] people. William Grundy = sleazy brit TV host who Johnny and Steve swore at on TV Ronnie Biggs = The only participant in the Great Train Robbery in the 1960's to get away with the cash, settled in Brazil [where the Brits couldn't touch him] and sang vocals on this song! Martin Boorman = Nazi who gave order to exterminate the Jews Myra Hindley and Ian Brady = the moores murderers. A couple, who were serial killers. Politicians and Pigs [cops] = let's face it, they beloing on a list with nazis and killers... Idi Armin = Ugandan military leader who excecuted most of his army and expelled most of the non-black population [ie, like a black ethnic cleansing][don't know a lot about him, just googled it]

@Nexus7 just a tiny correction, Ronnie Biggs was not the only one in the robbery who got away with his money (read about Buster Edwards for example, also an interesting story :) and by the way Ronnie Biggs not only sung the song, AFAIK he also wrote the lyrics :)

William Grundy got drunk before interviewing the sex pistols and came on to singer from Siouxie and the Banshees.
